Friday, Friday [also see post from this morning]

TCOY
  1. Scrambled one Wellfleet Chicken Coop egg with crumbled feta, so good. Is it possible that it really tasted better than commercial eggs? Enjoyed with two slices crisp bacon, French press coffee made with beans bought on the Cape and half toasted Ezekiel roll w Irish butter.
  2. Rested a little to fight cold.
  3. Had healthy foods from Joyist.
  4. Piled a lot of fresh baby arugula on top of my pizza after it baked.
  5. Ate a few big organic blackberries.
  6. A couple short walks with Sug.
  7. Wrote thank you notes for January birthday gifts. Corresponding by letter with friends and family feels good.
$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET
  • Parking meters, $1.25.
  • Joyist, 4:30 p.m., late lunch of avocado toast w radish and greens and 3 large, filling blends [The Greg for Fig; The Luke for P.; and The Greg with "I'm Sick" boost* for me, 10th punch on card, free]; Java Bites for P.; jar of local honey, $41.
  • Gasoline, $20.
  • Kings. I was inspired by a prosciutto-topped pizza I saw in a Lidia Bastianich cookbook I've had for years. Bought dough, 2 four-oz. prosciutto, baby arugula, 2 fresh mozzarella balls [sale], pizza sauce, vegan cheese, mushrooms, organic milk, lox [sale], deli provolone, deli turkey, votive candle for mantel, prepared Indian chicken and rice entree, large onion, bananas, sliced almonds, raisin & nut mix and pricey organic blackberries, $91.35.
DAILY TOTAL: $153.60.
RUNNING TOTAL FOR MONTH AS OF MARCH 22: $3511.32.
SO FAR, THAT'S AN AVERAGE DAILY SPEND OF: $159.60.
MONEY THOUGHT: It was fun to make pizza toppings. I caramelized onions, sautéed baby Bella mushrooms, squeezed sweet garlic from papery roasted cloves. I like that Figgy made her vegan pie as she likes it, and Dan assembled ours. Plenty of leftovers, too.

    1. Hi Liz. Fig not too pleased w shirt.....wants to get lock on door....hope all is good....I won't allow lock on door because I have dark memories of teen years when it would have been very unsafe to have lock on door. love Alice

  2. Yes, locks always a terrible sign in a home. We’ve had our bouts. Hope she talks to P about mistrust. It seems like she is kind to P, spending her very Ltd free time doing things for and with her. P may be sorry to lose that. Always more effective coming from sibling than parent. Sigh, where do the weekends go!

  3. Hi Liz. Fig dotes on P and also tries to keep her on the high road. P., and we, will really miss Fig when she moves on....she has one more semester at Montclair State. She talks about moving to maine eventually...she loves it there, plus birds, water, nature....we are spoiled to have her here. Tonight the two are doing their biweekly hamster cage cleaning. As I witness their lives and love, I hope and pray they have continued sweetness ahead. Love Alice
